hford,

The block you are evaluating should be sonic checked no matter what the bore size indicates. If you have to act fast on this one, I recommend a pass if it's done without the sonic check.

The previous owner might have bored it without the check and then found out the walls were too thin.

I would also trust what you hear from Barry, he's built a bunch of FE motors that last. He's a pro. There are some real experts on FE motors on this site. Trust them.

I would also ignore what you're hearing about 427 blocks since that doesn't apply to what you have.
